Aldgate-Mitre Square Ariel view 1947

[Joshua Rogan]

How come two murders were committed by K+T warehouses?

Which other one?

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

Maps are not consulted enough in this case.

Stride's access from 32 Flower and Dean Street to 6 Fashion Street being one.

As mentioned recently, the couple seen by Lawende and friends at the entrance to the lengthy Church Passage had probably been sheltering from the rain.
Not necessarily at the corner,but under the considerable eaves of the Synagogue.

Fun with maps ..... Arrr!

I do like an old map.

I can see Horner and Co as marked, I think it's obscuring the Kearly and Tonge building that's at 90° to the older warehouse, but the lighter building marked as K+T is giving me a headache, surely it's the building to the left of it?

If nothing else, it's been a great diversion into old London. Much like the 'Jack's escape from Mitre Square' thread was.

Nice to see Christians pics generating discussion though.

He has it right.

It shows the four buildings between Houndsditch and Duke Street.

K&T purchased Horner & Son in 1907.

Would you like to look at the Goad map again, and then the link I provided in post #21?

You may spot something rather salient.

I wasn't totally sure about Andrew Firths annotations, dare I suggest he's got Bevis Marks in the wrong place, it's up past Mitre Square, not on the junction of Aldgate + Duke St?

Your post #12 contains so many obvious mistakes,I don't know where to start.

Hopefully someone else has the time and perseverance.

The building marked as Horner & Co on the annotated ariel map is Kearley & Tonge, as demonstrated in this 1890 sketch... http://www.internationalstores.co.uk...depots-hq.html

Yes, it's a lovely map. But you haven't demonstrated how it relates to the annotated ariel map.

The 1894 Whitechapel ordinance map is most useful.Especially as one complete map that can be downloaded and magnified.
Too big to post here,however Rob House has posted it under Official Documents on this website.

It shows Henry Gawen Sutton's trek home after work from London Hospital towards Finsbury Square circa 1867/8 , when he was the Shoreditch Vestry Board's Medical Officer to Mary Ann Kelly (1868 until his death,including her Inquest)and physician to Nichols and Eddowes from December 1867 when they were inpatients together with Rheumatic fever (in The London Hospital).

Past the first two murders long after he had transplanted his family to Seven Oaks,Kent, past two hotels operated by and frequented by two of the five's landlords,Dr Phillips' residence,the parents of a child mysteriously living with Hutchinson,the real one,not Toppy

That and Mitre Square are my most referred to maps.

Hop on the internet and look at the full 1887 Goad map.

Hop to Aldgate and walk around the area.

[DJA]

I'm going by the same Goad map...

...along with google maps.


The building marked as Kearley & Tonge on the ariel photo is facing onto Duke Street. That would make it where Bevis Marks Synagogue is. The building marked as Horner & Co is where Kearley & Tonge would be which means Horner & Co would be slightly lower down to the right of the green spot.

Hop on the internet and look at the full 1887 Goad map.

Here's an OS map that's contemporary with the photo, as many of the buildings had changed and many others were destroyed in the blitz.
